The Learning Lounge Initiative ...

The Learning Lounge Initiative is a supposed to be a company which deals with online tutoring. However,consumers have reported that this company is a fraud. The person known to be cheating through this initiative goes by the name Rahul Ghosh accompanied by a female, Nita. Rahul is also known by the name Saurish Ghosh. Together, they have duped many Indians into paying thousands. Once you have shown interest in the company, you receive an email, which informs you about a company called \"Study Time\". This email informs the reader about Study Time\'s initiative i.e online tutoring for students in America. It says that the salary is about 10,000 to 50,000 Indian rupees. It requires you to take an online test in a subject and once you pass this test( which you will because even the test is a scam), Rahul/Nita sends you a confirmation email. The email appears to be sent from America from a businesswoman Angelina Atkins. They ask you to pay about four thousand rupees and credit it in a bank in Kolkata( West Bengal). Once you have paid this, the company lies low for a couple of days. When you enquire into what happened to your money, they ask you to deposit another three thousand rupees in the bank. Once you do this, they promise you that the training will begin in 30 days. This is surprising, because it is clearly mentioned in their initial email that the training would begin the following day after you have paid 4000. Now the consumer waits for a month, after which he calls up Rahul. However, the consumer is shocked to hear Rahul abusing him and using slangs. On persistently calling him up, he threatens you as he knows your address. He goes to the extent of blocking your phone number. Then the consumer never hears of the duo ever again.

Hundreds of Indians have fallen prey to this duo. They are said to be India\'s top cheats. This article seeks to educate the common man not to fall prey to online scams and to beware of fraudsters like these.

Rahul and Nita have their bank account in an Axis Bank branch in Kolkata. They have a fake website too which has successfully fooled many people. The online test given is also a sham.

Therefore, The Learning Lounge Initiative is a scam and Indians and even people abroad must be careful not to fall into the trap.
